Beier is charged with sexual abuse of minor, fourth-degree sex offense and second-degree assault stemming from accusations by three of Beier’s students.

One of Beier’s accusers, a 16-year-old boy, told investigators that in January that Beier undressed and photographed him at the school after hours. During the investigation police allegedly recovered from Beier’s home photographs of the boy matching what he described to police.

Another of Beier’s accusers, a 17-year-old girl, told investigators that Beier fondled her buttocks twice during 2006.

The accusations of a third accuser, a boy reported only as ‘under 18′ have not been revealed as they were handed up the result of a grand jury investigation.

Beier who was River Hill’s 2001 Teacher of the Year has been on paid administrative leave since his January arrest. He is also the third Howard County, MD teacher to be accused of sexual misconduct with students recently.

His trial is currently set for July 23.

Update 7/12/07:

Circuit Court Judge Diane Leasure suspended Beier’s July 23 trial at the request of Beier’s attorney while Beier files an appeal in the Court of Special Appeals regarding evidence police seized from Beier’s house at the time of his Jan. 12 arrest.
